Dak and Jazz go way back, as childhood friends really. They use to play cowboy and Indians though the Indians where imaginary and Jazz was always the damsel in distress, With Dakota valiantly coming to the risque and saving the day! Back then Dakota lived in the rather large city of L.A. right down the street from Jazzy. Though Jazzy was always up to no good, Dak was always able to keep her our of enough mischief and on her schooling. Dak was always the responsible one of the two, though Jazz would always protest that he was a party pooper. But out of all of it, Jazz was able to pull him over to the dark side at times and get him to go along with ditching school and sneaking into the theaters or catching a carnival during school hours.
Though when it was time for them to enter high school, Dakota's parents made a rather big life changing choice, with his father getting to be a college professor at a very well known university, that summer they upped and moved away. Jazz was a distant friend whom became a close pin pal. Though they lost touch after a couple of years, Dakota never forgot her, and when they where finally done with schooling Dak often brought her over to Britain to stay and often held parties and as usual would find trouble. Though Dak was often able to hold back this lovely singer he often got pulled into her schemes as well. There has been plenty of times he had to get her out of a hard situation and had to work things out. Though he enjoys her company non the less,even if she is a bad influence.

My Grandfather
Shortly after Dak moved to Britain with his parents, his father and mother took a trip for the university, off to a couple of different places, they wrote every day, but one day the letters stop and they never came home. His parents had gone missing and the university had offered their condolence and help with Dakota's Schooling. Though while he was in Britain he stayed with his Mother's Father, His Grandfather Harrison. He two was an explorer and is was Grandpa Harrison that brought his parents together, Harrison had meet his father on a small exasperation and introduced him to Dak's mother.
Living with Grandpa Harrison was fun, and what helped fuel his loves for travel and studies in archeology. They had spent what time they had looking over maps and listening to his stories about his adventures. Though the down side was that he was almost never at home. Dak learned at a young age to take care of himself and everything he need to know about to city life in London. Though his grandfather wrote to him every day and brought him back exotic gifts and tons of books. When he was home, Dak and Harrison enjoyed spending time with each other and where very close. By Dakota was often lonely other wise, which caused him to rebel, spend his hesitance on parties and bringing Jazz over from the the States.
It wasn't until he was at the University and more settled down did he lose his grandfather, the ship that Harrison was on had sunk and though many survived, he was lost at sea. Jazz was mother then happy to be there at his time of need and with that stayed with him for a time. He loved his grandfather though now he was alone, he chose to do like any one would and became an explorer as well, with no family, there was no one to leave behind for months at a time and he was free to go about as he wished.

Indiana Jones
Growing up Dak had always liked the idea of super heros, though nothing like the comics, like superman or the flash. He knew that they where not real and could never exists in our would. Though when he watched the Indian Jones series for the first time he was blown away. Though India Jones was not real, he often liked to think of his dad as the famous Indie in hiding. He looked up to him and his father and wanted to be an archeology professor that went around the world finding treasures and saving the girl. He Idled Indi and wanted to be just like him and often wears an Idiana Jones like hat. This was a small facter in what lead him into become a professor like his father and a Explorer like his grandfather. Though when his father went missing he use to full himself in believing he was on some grand adventure with his mother, fighting bad guys and finding hidden things. He refused for the longest of time to believe that they where possible dead and with that would bench watch the movies for days on end. Though now he links the movies to a tragity in his life, he still loves them to this day, even when excepting that Indi was never real (for as a kid he thought that Indi was his father and not just a fictional character.) Dakota Vows to one day name one of his children Indian.

Optional Extra:
September 9th
The last couple of days are hard, I was able to report back to the university about the couple of small accent tombs we had found out in the middle of Africa but no sign of any full bodies that would be nice to display in the British museum. Though while I was both here for business and pleasure I have manage to follow some tracks I believe to be for a rather large and fast cat. I hope this is the one I am looking for. I have enjoyed my time here other wise, The Locals have shown us a hospitality and I can rest easy at nights even with the danger of the night predictors looking about. Our Guide out here, Adaeze has been more then helpful keeping us out of danger, though his English is broken, we communicate well and he loves to share his stories with us around the camp fire.
I still wonder if I can find my prize, They tend to hide in trees and thicker parts of Africa's plains. Tomorrow I will be focusing on the hunt, for it shall be on foot in hopes to find a sign of a nest. These cats normal hide their kills in trees which will make things easier for me is one has just be out on a hunt. I am well equipped and know that Adaeze will have my back. Adeaze dose not just know this world better then I, but know how animals think and act, he calls it a gift from his gods, I just think he has had many years of practices. If the hunt is Successful I will be sending the Cheetah pelt back to London where It can be turned into wall hanging, Jazz will be thrilled.
